[Kuda Dube]

I've created a digest of suggestions on this to my friend as follows:

Hi Sinclair,

I was looking for the same solution during the last 3 days.

Interesting suggestions that I am exploring from ILUG.ie list members
are following. You may want to explore them as well and lets share
experiences. I will send you more as list members send their
suggestions.

Relating to the web search, here is one suggestion:

        After a brief Web search:

Relating to online folders with sync'ing functionality here are the
suggestions:

        You could probably use subversion* for something like this.

        I use unison for something much like this, though it's generally
        interactive, the user gets to review what changes will propogate
        in what direction (this can be good or bad).  There's also:

        Try Dropbox. It's not a server folder as such but the provide
        2gb free for syncing multiple machines and they provide a linux
        client: http://www.getdropbox.com
